It was getting dark, and you had to stop and rest, otherwise it would be easy to get lost on the night march.

Deputy Head Guo walked up to Fang Zhonglei and said, "There is a water source near here, and it is a small river. Why don't you cook a meal here? ”

Fang Zhonglei looked at the terrain around here and nodded.

The water source was found, a small clear stream with some unknown aquatic plants in it. The stones in the water are covered with green moss, and it is slippery to step on.

After the military doctor came forward to test the water source, he informed everyone that they could drink it with confidence.

At this moment, someone found a python with thick arms, and the disk was a pile there. Much higher than cow, Deputy Head Guo said with a smile: "God has given us more food." ”

Zhang Miaohua swooped behind Li Aobai, and his body began to tremble. Li Aobai is also the first time to see this thing, when he used to work in the field, he had seen many snakes, he had never hurt them, he gently shoveled it up with a shovel, and put it in a secret place on the side, so that it would not be discovered by snake hunters.

He felt that snakes were spiritual and could not be harmed casually. The python in front of him, Deputy Head Guo said: "This is non-poisonous, and the locals often eat them." Our soldiers also ate a lot of this western dish, but it was delicious. ”

Fang Zhonglei did not approve of killing such a creature in his heart, but he was unwilling to disobey the kindness of others. Besides, in the past few days of the march, it was all fast food, and some soldiers had difficulty pooping. It is not easy to meet such a water source today.

Several of Deputy Commander Guo's subordinates immediately surrounded him. The python looked up, my mother, how tall a man is. The few people who gathered around looked like veterans. There was no fear at all. One grabbed the butt of his rifle, and the other took a grenade and slammed it at the python.

One of them made up a few shots with a pistol with a silencer, and the python fell and collapsed on the ground, making a big mess.

The leader of the cooking class walked over, he was a local, and he skillfully skinned the snake.

Then use a sharp blade to cut open the snake's belly. Point out one by one, this is the heart, this is the guts. The poison gland is here, remove the poison gland, and there is no poison in other places. Li Aobai was dumbfounded, he did feel a little nauseated.

This squad leader's surname is Chen. He said, "Python." It's not that we can't get along with you, it's that our warriors need you too much. ”

The complete python skin is completely displayed in front of everyone. Golden yellow, the belly is white, Li Aobai squatted down and stroked the skin.

Squad Leader Chen ordered a soldier in the cooking squad to rinse the python skin and hang it on the trunk of a tree to dry. A few people who were watching together just now started together, and the cylindrical python meat was cut off piece by piece, in their opinion, it was not a snake. It's like the boxes of luncheon meat in the python skin.

Li Aobai turned around, he didn't want to see such a scene. Zhang Miaohua has been behind Li Aobai with his eyes closed. She said, "I don't want this, I'd rather eat canned biscuits." ”

Fang Zhonglei saw Li Aobai's appearance, he walked over and said, "You don't like to eat this?" ”

Li Aobai immediately stood up and saluted and said, "Yes." ”

Although Fang Zhonglei has fought many tough battles, he has seen bloody corpses. He was never afraid, but he couldn't bear today's scene. He, like Li Aobai, couldn't see such a spiritual animal being killed and eaten.

For dinner, it was rice, four dishes, including luncheon meat. Part of the python's meat was braised and part of it was boiled in soup.

Except for Li Aobai, Fang Zhonglei, and Zhang Miaohua, everyone else ate. Some people burped when they ate, and Deputy Head Guo said to Fang Zhonglei: "Python meat is not difficult to eat, it is considered a fatty thing." ”

The snake gall was soaked in wine by the cooking squad leader, because several soldiers had eye diseases. The snake gall has a clear purpose, and the squad leader said to let these soldiers with eye diseases drink some snake gall wine.

The cooking squad leader rolled up the python skin, like a firefighter's hose. The arms were stretched out, and they were pulled to a full handful, a total of more than three meters, two palms wide, the ornamentation was very beautiful, and the head was also completely peeled. The whole skin, like a work of art.

Squad leader Liu also said: "Clean it up first, and then go back and dry it, which will be considered a collection in the future." I still have a few more, but this one is the best. ”

Deputy head Guo said: "This squad leader Liu studied art before joining the army, and he likes to collect some dead wood or something, and he said that after demobilization, he can open a museum when he goes back." As he spoke, he showed Fang Zhonglei a water cup made of a shell shell that he had brought with him.

Such a creation can be called perfect, no wonder the python skin is put away.

No matter how talented the person is, how literary he is. Just based on the scene when he killed the python just now, Li Aobai never accepted it.

Fang Zhonglei signaled Li Aobai not to be so formal, just be casual. He said: "In this forest, we will be without water and food at any time, and our warriors can only solve the problem of the belly in this way. Don't be too particular about it, just like them, follow the local customs, fill your stomach, and we will have the strength to complete the task. ”

Li Aobai said: "Yes, sir! I'm going to do as the locals do. ”

This is the first time that Fang Zhonglei and Li Aobai have spoken formally face to face, and both of them have strong and magnetic voices.

Zhang Miaohua looked at the two handsome guys in front of her, one big and one small, she was a little stunned, the two of them looked like father and son or brothers, such an explanation can definitely be said to be in the past.

Fang Zhonglei really wanted to say a few more words to the young man in front of him, just to talk about family life. However, the situation did not allow it, so he could only say this, and then turned to Deputy Head Guo. He and Deputy Head Guo began to arrange the matters of setting up camp at night.

Zhang Miaohua approached Li Aobai and said, "Hey, what is your relationship with him?" ”

Li Aobai felt that this Zhang Miaohua was a little three-eight, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. But Zhang Miaohua refused to give up, and still continued to ask: "Do you know, the two of you look alike, except for your eyes, you look the same everywhere. Are you related? ”

Li Aobai still refused to pay attention to this woman, but her words reminded him. This lieutenant general commander looks quite similar to himself, but he should have nothing to do with himself. Listening to his accent is not from his own hometown.

Back then, Li Dabiao picked up his own place, but in front of his hometown town, even if he traced his life experience, it should also be near the Western Capital.

At this time, Deputy Regiment Commander Guo gave an order to rest in place and spend the night here tonight. And everyone should pay attention to snake bites and pay attention to moisture.

I can finally rest, and my tense nerves can relax a little.

The moisture-proof cloth was laid down, and Li Aobai lay down. Zhang Miaohua had no choice but to leave the place and go to the health team to rest with a few accompanying nurses. (To be continued.) )
